It's nastier than that. It'd be one thing if it was just a handful of references.
There's a link in the Reddit post to a Twitter thread where someone was posting listings. The lowest one from that sample was $3000. If you're trying to get just the $50 minimum out of former colleagues, then you'd need to have 60 of those.
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't have 60 former colleagues that I know who would be willing to bet $50 that a company hiring this way isn't a den of vipers that will cut me before the payout.
- ALittleLight 5y agoTo be clear, the company is not workable in it's current form. I think they're right to shut down and rethink things. I think the core concept of figuring out a way to get skin in the game for referrals makes sense though. I also don't think the people behind the company should be derided for trying this. And I think it's not racist.
